Relay For Life

Relay for Life is something I decided to be a part of this year. We have started setting up a team and need more people. I signed up to have a team of 15 walkers. We need more members for TEAM ELLIE! April 9-10 at the McLeod Center at UNI will be activities for families during the Relay for Life walk. It's a 24hour walk that starts with a survivor lap where all survivors of cancer walk a lap together to get it started. Then each team is supposed to have at least one team member on the track walking at all times. I was thinking with 15 walkers on team Ellie we would only each have to walk an hour and a half to complete the 24 hours. Walking in pairs or groups is fine also. Looks like there might even be camping outside on the grass for those who want to do that for a little fun. There will also be other activities for people to participate in. We are hoping to get t-shirts made for Team Ellie so I need to know how all is interested in being on the team so we can put names on the back. Relay for Life would like everyone to make at least a $100 goal for funds raised per walker. So I made our team goal $1500.00 thinking each walker would try to raise $100 before the day of the walk. We have to turn all money in on that day. So if you are interested please click on the Relay For Life title to this blog and it will take you to the website where you can learn more and decide if you want to just make a donation to our team our join our team. We need about 8 more walkers I think. Thanks for considering joining our team and once you join I send you more information about events. Ellie has some of her friends signed up with one of their parents to be on the team and walk with her throughout the day. She would love to have more friends join her. GO TEAM ELLIE!! YAY!!
